Really Mean Sub Studio Subwoofer (Red)

Super Smart, Ultra Compact, Really Mean Sub.

Getting tight low end used to be rocket science. Now it's not...

A Precision Studio Subwoofer With App Control & Room Correction

Impulse Control

Low end so tight your mastering engineer might finally respect you.

Feedforward transient correction stops excess driver motion before it happens, so bass stays accurate, not smeared.

Really Mean Sub Backplate

Truth Hurts. Mix Better, Cry Less.

A subwoofer that delivers low end tighter than those jeans you haven't squeezed into since 2019. The Really Mean Sub tells you when your low end is trash, it might even tell you if you put on a few pounds.

Tantrum Audio DSP Control

Focus On The Music, Not The Room.

Admit it, you've been EQing to fix your room instead of your mix. Our built in USB-C controlled DSP is available on both the subwoofer AND main monitor outputs. Through pristine class AB output stages, it hunts down those room modes you pretend not to hear. You'll need new excuses for why that kick drum doesn't translate.

Bass That Means More Business

This balanced configuration cancels out any remaining reactive forces inside our exceptionally robust 24mm thick sandwich baffle MDF enclosure. Structural vibrations are reduced, improving intermodulation distortion and allowing you to make faster, more accurate decisions.

Really Mean Sub With Banana For Scale

Big Sound In A Compact Package.

At just 28cm tall, the Really Mean Sub scores high on partner approval. But with 400W of ICEpower amplification inside, this subwoofer delivers bass that stays brutally clean even when cranked to volumes guaranteed to have you sleeping on the sofa. Consider yourself warned.

Really Mean Sub And Angry Box

Pair With Any Speaker

Most pros avoid subwoofers because they're a nightmare to integrate; nobody really knows what those phase and delay knobs actually do. We fixed that. Our Quick Alignment tool measures and syncs the Really Mean Sub's timing dead-on with any speaker.
